Abstract
The influence of the adrenal gland on incorporation of acetate-1-C14into rat liver protein was studied. Cortisone, corticosterone, and deoxycorticosterone were found to increase isotope incorporation in both sham-operated and adrenalectomized groups, while Reichstefn's substance S increased radioactivity in the protein only from sham-operated animals. The effects of the alcohol and acetate forms of cortisone, hydrocortisone, deoxycorticosterone, and Reichstein's substance S were compared.Keywords
